Designing Future Market Models for Distributed Energy Participation

Wednesday, Feb. 4 | 3-3:50 p.m.

As DER adoption accelerates and frameworks like FERC Order 2222 reshape participation pathways, both ISOs and distribution utilities must rethink how wholesale markets coordinate with increasingly dynamic distribution systems. This session explores how emerging market models can enable aggregator participation, support dual-enrollment frameworks, and ensure distribution-aware dispatch without compromising reliability. We’ll examine the data exchange requirements, operational guardrails, and coordination mechanisms that form the architectural and process foundations for modernizing wholesale market operations in a more distributed future.
